Features: The development of legal theory and the needs of social practice have equally drawn attention to health law. Issues surrounding the protection of human life and health rights have given rise to various problems, requiring health law to provide adjustments. Numerous conflicts and disputes demand regulation through relevant laws. While the general public has taken up legal "weapons" to protect their life and health rights, the correct use of these "weapons" to avoid self-harm requires continuous learning. The legal awareness and consciousness of medical and health professionals and administrators remain relatively lagging. They often consider their rights, obligations, and operational rules from the perspective of natural sciences in medicine, lacking an understanding of the legal consequences of actions or inactions in upholding their rights. Therefore, the study of health law still has a long way to go. China Health Law provides a textbook for learning. It is not only suitable for teaching at the graduate, undergraduate, and vocational levels but also more suitable for health administrative personnel, medical institutions and their medical staff, health supervisors, and law enforcement personnel for pre-service and in-service continuous education. It is also more suitable for the general public to understand and familiarize themselves with the national health legal system, enhance their capabilities, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of themselves and others.
